Brigham Young University’s Ballroom Dance Company (BDC) is one of the most distinctive and unique university dance companies in the world. The show, Ballroom Dance Company in Concert, delights spectators with championship formation dancing, breath-taking lifts and spins and compelling and creative choreography that seamlessly segues from romantic waltzes to rhythmical sambas —all performed in a seemingly endless stream of shimmering costumes.

Innovative theatrical design gives traditional ballroom dances a refreshing and relevant flare that engages audiences of all ages. A hallmark of the show includes the performance of the award-winning and internationally acclaimed Ballroom and Latin competition medleys.

The BDC is the first company of Americans ever to win the prestigious British Formation Championships—a feat they have repeated an unprecedented ten times. The dancers have also competed in the World Formation Championships and have consistently earned top honors in the United States National Formation Championships.

The company has toured with its variety showcase of Latin and international dance styles—including waltz, samba, foxtrot, and hustle—throughout Europe, the Middle East, the South Pacific, eastern Asia, and the United States. They have also performed as special guest artists at ballroom dance competitions in China, Ukraine, and Hungary. And always, no matter where they perform, the Ballroom Dance Company dazzles and delights.
